About Jacob
Biography
I have over fourteen years of experience as a criminal trial attorney. I founded Uriel Criminal Defense PC because I wanted to do criminal defense the right way. I have successfully tried many criminal cases in front of juries and judges. I am a former supervisor at the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, where I was in charge of vehicular cases from DWI to Vehicular Homicide. After leaving the DA, went into criminal defense at a firm, where I received high marks in client satisfaction. I know the system and I also know the law. I have been a college adjunct professor in Criminal Law for over a decade.
